All right, finally had time to try this one, and it's good for
 me - patch on top of 2.6.26-rc7, the WARNING does not
 appear in over three minutes of ltracing nautilus even
 with load climbing up to 6 while just two gnome-terminals
 (one running 'top' and the other running 'ltrace') and a
 firefox with two tabs are opened under XVnc. Hence,

Tested-by: <alessandro.suardi@...il.com>

BTW, both the old and the new nautilus package have
 horrible performance under VNC, I guess I noticed the
 new one simply due to a fresh-start effect...

Thanks !
